Ventral Posterolateral Nucleus

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNCP -> BrainRegionNCP_FD_TH_VPL

This page covers biological details of component Ventral Posterolateral Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Forebrain Diencephalon -> Thalamus (FD.TH) -> Sensory Thalamus (FD.TH.SR) -> Ventral Posterior Nuclei (NSA.FD.TH.VP) -> Ventral Posterolateral Nucleus (NCP.FD.TH.VPL) (see Mind Maps)
Type: nucleus
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
Role: thalamic.sensory.primary
Function: Relays somatic information from body to S1
